4th of July is around the corner, and here we have Lillie from her days in the service.

Hey there, Patrons and fans. Kuso here. Today, I want to share more about our custom editor tool. Building URAGONER's complex world demands precision, and this editor has become our most vital asset. It's the invisible engine behind every mission and upgrade.

For a two-person team, efficiency is survival. We spent months refining this tool, and the payoff is huge: integrating a new operative, with a Lifepath and unique skills, now takes twenty minutes instead of days. Every ability, cinematic, and debuff flows through a streamlined framework. Adding skills, upgrade cards, and cutscenes can all be done without touching the core code.

This consistency keeps URAGONER maintainable. Here's an example: we can create an entire story event almost like writing natural language. Using Yarn Spinner, we build dialogue scripts that anyone can read and edit. When we need an event to trigger something in-game, we define a named trigger from the editor that calls one of hundreds of behaviors. We can also set conditions for when a story should appear: for example, requiring that Eri is in your roster and that you're in MiniTokyo. If those conditions aren't met, the event isn't considered. This flexibility makes content creation fast and intuitive.

While other projects get tangled in fragile, hardcoded logic, (sometimes code with switches containing hundreds of cases and dozens of nested if statements) our modular approach ensures updates, balance tweaks, and new content can be delivered cleanly and quickly. We're designing for long-term stability.

It doesn't end with launch. We're planning to release parts of this editor so the community can create new abilities, encounters, and stories. This is our way to keep the fight alive far into the future.

We've also upgraded in-game presentation. Operatives can now show phone screens in dialogue to share images, video, or live feeds. Of course, Eri insists on using a cracked display. These little touches help deepen your bond with the squad.

Our philosophy is simple: empower. Empower us to build something special, and empower you to shape URAGONER's future. Join us on Discord at discord.gg/uragoner. We're online every day and we don’t mind pings.

Thank you for reading and supporting us. More behind-the-scenes updates are coming soon.
